CassieNo.
Yeah, me neither. You wanna do molly?
[They walk up to Fez and Ashtray's pretzel truck]
AAshtray
Welcome to Pretzelmania, can I take your order? [pause] How many pretzels do you want?
Cassie
Two, please.
AAshtray
That'll be forty.
[Maddy and Cassie each give Ashtray twenty bucks in exchange for two ounces of ecstasy]
Cassie
So, you think Nate's cheating on you?
I don't know. He's just been acting super-weird lately.
Cassie
Have you gone through his phone?
I've never not gone through someone's phone.
Cassie
Bitch, you're my soulmate.
Yo, what's going on with you and McKay? I thought you two were in love.
Cassie
Nate asked McKay if were were in a relationship, and McKay said that we were just chillin'.
Cassie
Yeah.
Honestly, fuck them both.
Cassie
Right?
[Later, they watch the Jacobs family at their chili cook-off tent after taking the molly]
Honestly, fuck that whole family.
Cassie
For real.
'Cause right now I'm looking at a thousand versions of myself, and not only do I look good, I fucking feel good.
Cassie
It's a bitch.
So, if they've got something to say, they should just say it to my face, right?
Cassie
Or you could just say it to their fucking face.
Cassie
That's what I would do. [pause] I feel like this is a turning point.
Cassie
We should just pick the hottest, most confident, bad bitch version of ourselves, and be that for the rest of the school year.
[Cassie tells McKay about Nate's dick pics]
Cassie
He had a bunch of dick pics on his phone.
MMcKay
And was like what? Sending them to other girls?
Cassie
No. McKay, it wasn't his dick. It was other guys' dicks.
MMcKay
I'm confused. Who told you this?
[Cut to Cassie on the phone with Maddy]
Cassie
The ones you told me about, on his phone.
I don't know if your brain is all scrambled from all the molly you took, but I never said that. If you ever spread a lie like that, I will fucking come for you.
[Cut back to Cassie on the bed with McKay]
Cassie
[pause] Yeah.
MMcKay
Anyway, look, Cassie. I'm really sorry about what happened the other night at the carnival.
Cassie
It's okay.
MMcKay
No, I should've said something to Nate.
Cassie
It just really hurt my feelings. I mean, I feel like you weren't proud to be my boyfriend.
MMcKay
Cass... Give me a kiss. [Cassie gets close to him and they kiss] I'm proud to be your boyfriend, trust me.
Cassie
I'm sorry, too.
MMcKay
What do you have to sorry about?
[to Cassie] I don't know what you're gonna say, but this feels like... really dramatic.
BBB
Yeah, this is spooky.
Cassie
It is not spooky, BB. I just–I need your advice on, like, two things. And I need you guys to promise me not to say a single fucking word. So, the night of Daniel's Halloween party, something happened.
...
Wait, am I hearing this correctly? You wanna tell McKay that you made out with Daniel at the carnival and on Halloween?
Cassie
Yeah, but, I don't... I don't have to say it's Daniel.
Bitch, that's the craziest idea I've ever heard. [looks over at Kat and BB] Right?
Cassie
Yeah, but I wanna be honest with him.
Cassie
But it's not like I cheated-cheated.
Kissing is worse. It's so much more intimate. And if anybody brings it up, you deny, deny, deny.
Cassie
Okay, but, I just don't want there to be something this bad between us forever.
I wouldn't worry about it. It's not like you guys are gonna be together forever.
Kat, what the fuck is your problem? You're being a bad friend now. You were a bad friend to me, and this whole new personality is seriously unlikable.
Why, because I won't sit and listen to you bitch and moan about your psychotic, abusive boyfriend who you've literally broken up with a thousand times?
It was literally the lowest point in my life, so yeah. That and the fact that you're just fucking mean.
Maddy, ever since I've met you, all you talk about is yourself. Your clothes, your boyfriends, whatever superficial shit you think is so fucking important. Sorry I'm no longer interested.
I don't know about everyone else, but I miss the old Kat. You know, the one who had a sense of humor and wasn't a fucking cunt?
[Kat starts crying and leaves the room]
[to Cassie] What was the other thing?
Cassie
What other thing?
You said you needed advice on two things.
Cassie
I don't remember. What would you do?
Um, I don't know. I've never really been in a situation where two guys have been interested in me.
Cassie
That's 'cause you're shy.
I guess so, but I've also never been in a situation where I've been interested in two guys.
Cassie
That's also 'cause you're shy.
Cassie
But if you were in my situation, what would you do?
Honestly, I don't think I would say anything.
Cassie
What if not saying something makes you feel really bad?
Cassie
Yeah.
Well, then, I don't think you have any other option.
Cassie
I'm pregnant.
MMcKay
What? Are you for real that you're a hundred percent pregnant?
Cassie
Yeah.
MMcKay
I... I'm sorry, uh... Are you alright?
Cassie
Yeah, I'm... I'm just a little bit nervous.
MMcKay
Nervous about what?
Cassie
About what you're gonna say.
MMcKay
You're not really thinking about having this kid, are you?
Cassie
I really love you, McKay.
MMcKay
Yeah, I love you, too, but I'm doing a lot of shit right now. I'm in the middle of school right now. It's a big fuckin' responsibility, Cassie.
Cassie
What if this is what I'm supposed to do with my life?
MMcKay
What the fuck? My parents are gonna kill me. My coach is gonna kill me. My parents are gonna fucking kill me. Fuck. Cass, I don't even think you wanna have this baby, okay? It's not a... It's not a fuckin' fairy tale. Like... It may seem all cute and cuddly to you, but this is real shit. I'm not even ready to be a dad. I don't know if that's selfish to say or whatever, but... children are fuckin' scary. You wanted to talk about it, so here we are. We're talking about it. But I say we don't do it.
Cassie
I'm not saying I'm gonna have a baby. I just wanted to dream about it for a minute.
MMcKay
You'll make the best mother on the planet one day. I say that without a doubt.
Cassie
What if these are, like, the big moments in life? Like, my mom always talks about how high school was like this big, monumental part of her life. But I cannot imagine being 40 and looking back at this, like, "Wow."
Yeah, but that's because most people peak in high school.
I definitely haven't peaked, so...
I feel like I'm not even a person yet.
Cassie
Yeah, I'm definitely at, like, 25 percent peakness.
I feel like I'm at a hundred. But I can definitely get to 150.
Honestly, I never thought I'd make it this far.
Cassie
What do you mean?
I don't know. I just always had, like, this overwhelming anxiety that something bad would happen.
In all fairness, last summer, there were, like, three weeks where I thought you were dead.
Okay, but she's been sober for, like, three months.
[to Rue] Weren't you in rehab, like, six months ago?
[Nate and Cassie are having sex in the bathroom when Maddy knocks on the door]
I'm using the fucking bathroom!
[covers Cassie's mouth with his hand] Shh! [to Maddy] Uh, just a sec! Hold on! [Maddy knocks on the door again] Yo, just a minute!
Open the fucking door, Nate! I have to pee!
[to Cassie] Are you fucking crying?
[tries to calm Cassie down] Shh, there's no fucking reason to cry. You haven't been caught.
I have to pee, Nate! Open the door!
[to Cassie] Calm down and put your clothes on.
Cassie
[whispering] I can't... [sobs] She's my best friend.
Open the door! I need to pee!
I'm just using the bathroom! Just a second! Fucking pee outside!
...Are you taking a shit at a party?
...
You're so disgusting. I can smell it! I hear you taking a shit!
Cassie
[crying] We shouldn't have done this.
I need you to focus, okay?
What are you fucking doing?
Cassie
I'm all tangled.
Cassie
[gets herself back in a standing position] I'm so scared. I'm really scared, Nate.
[Cassie continues crying as Maddy continues banging on the door]
Hey, look at me. Look at me. I need you to trust me. I need you to trust me, okay?
Cassie
Mm-hm.
Wipe your ass and come out! I need to pee!
[to Cassie] I need you to listen to exactly what I say.
I'm gonna break this fucking door, Nate! Open the fucking door!
TTravis
You waiting for the bathroom?
TTravis
A lot of people know me.
TTravis
Yeah. You're the girl I met on New Year's Eve standing in line for the bathroom.
[Nate finally opens the door and walks out of the bathroom]
Wait, did you not wash your hands?
What the fuck are you talking about, Maddy?
I can't believe you took a shit at a party and you didn't wash your hands.
TTravis
Yo, wassup? My name's Travis. I would shake your hand, but I don't wanna get hepatitis.
[to Maddy] Yo, can we talk somewhere in private?
No, because I have to fucking pee. Move.
[As Maddy walks into the bathroom, Cassie is revealed to be hiding in the bathtub]
Cassie, I asked you a question.
I’m not asking you. I’m asking her.
Cassie
I already told Mrs. Jacobs I didn’t see anything.
I know. We just don’t believe you.
Cassie
I’m telling the truth.
Look, Cassie, I’m more than happy to get the Chief of Police, Bill Greenwood, involved. Old family friend. Maybe he should have this conversation with you. With everyone, in fact. You know? Get everyone’s cell phones. Text histories. Find out what exactly happened. Should we do that instead? [beat; Cassie looks over at Lexi] Don’t look at her. Look at me.
[Cut to Cassie and Lexi in their bedroom after Cassie confesses what happened]
Cassie
What?! What was I supposed to do?
Cassie
You heard him! He was going to call the police!
No, he wasn’t. He was bluffing, and you fell for it ’cause you’re a fucking idiot!
Cassie
Why do you even care?!
Because you just ruined someone’s life!
Cassie
Fezco almost killed Nate! That was his decision!
[Lexi lies in her bed in frustration]
[V.O.] Lexi had thought about that night a lot. How could Fezco be so kind to her, and so violent towards Nate? She couldn’t remember the last time someone her age asked her so many questions about herself. He actually cared about what she had to say. And then, ten minutes later… almost beat Nate Jacobs to death. And even if Nate deserved it, it was a horrible thing to do. It made her think about her entire life. How she’s always been so passive. How she never had the courage to say anything. And even the time when she did get the courage to say something...
Rue, you really need to get help.
What, are you gonna tell my mom or something?
[V.O.] ...she backed down. She hated herself for being so weak and passive and afraid. So, a couple of days after Cal came over, she decided to say something.
[Lexi notices Cassie doing her makeup in their bathroom in the middle of the night]
Why are you awake at 4 a.m?
Cassie
Why are you awake at 4 a.m?
[V.O.] Cassie decided to wake up at 4 a.m. that morning to get ready for school. She needed to clear her head. And for those three hours she spent getting ready… she only thought about one thing. There was also something refreshing about the amount of time she was putting into herself. She loved the ritual, the attention to detail... the anxiety and excitement she felt in her stomach. And even if Nate pretended not to notice her. It was her way of telling him that she was his.
[loitering in hallway with Rue] That’s a good-ass plan.
Thank you. Fuckin’ Fez didn’t even wanna hear it.
Ego shit, man. [to Lexi in hallway putting up flyers over the official "Oklahoma" play production calling for auditions of her original play also entitled Oklahoma] Yo, Lex, what're you doin'?
Oh, just putting up fliers for this play I'm doing.
What play? [V.O.] The only thing is... Lexi hadn't told anyone about the play... including Cassie.
I'd actually love for you to read it. [aloud] Yeah, for sure. Just, uh, send it to me. [enters washroom]
Cassie
[enters washroom] Hey, Rue-Rue.
Hi, Cass. Wait, are you in the play?
Cassie
What play?
Cassie
What do you mean, Lexi's play?
Uh, the play that Lexi wrote.
Cassie
What?
The play's called "Oklahoma"?
No, the drama club's doing "Oklahoma."
Cassie
Oh my god. Do I look like I'm in "Oklahoma"?
Why would your play be set in Oklahoma?
Cassie
[facing Rue with Lexi making a slash throat (meaning; stop talking) gesture behind her] You thought I was auditioning for "Oklahoma"?
Cassie
[Lexi frantically makes waving gestures (meaning; PLEASE stop talking) behind her] Are you making fun of me, or did you actually think I was auditioning for "Oklahoma"?
[walks up with Kat] Why the fuck would you audition for "Oklahoma"?
Cassie
I'm not!
Then why the fuck do you look like you're auditioning for "Oklahoma"?
Cassie
Do I?
Cassie
Has everyone read "Oklahoma" but me?
"Oklahoma"'s not like a play you read.
Cassie
Rue, are you on drugs?
Cassie
Wait, what?!
Oh, I've just... nah, I've just been smokin' a little bit of weed.
Wait, I don't understand. If you're not auditioning for "Oklahoma," then why do you look like that?
Cassie
Like what?!
Like a country music star.
Cassie
In a good way or a bad way?
Bitch, you better be joking. Are you okay, Cass?
Cassie
No! Yes, fuck it! I am in love with Nate Jacobs and he is in love with me! And don't you fucking give me that look, Maddy, because I didn't fuck your boyfriend! You two were broken up for three weeks and three days before we even had sеx, so I didn't betray you! Plus, you guys are terrible for each other and you know I'm right and you guys can all judge me [turns head over left shoulder to Rue then back at Maddy and Kat] if you want, but I do not care! I have never, ever been happier!
[V.O.] But she didn't say that. In fact, it was much weirder. She just stared straight ahead like she's doing now and didn't say a word.
I think being single's really stressing you out.
Cassie
No, I don't think so.
Cassie
Really?
Yeah. I think Nate really fuckеd me up. [Theo gasps] I said, "Messed me up."
Cassie
What do you mean?
I keep trying to figure out if I feel worse now than I did when I was with Nate.
Cassie
I mean, you were really unhappy.
Like, I remember how the good parts felt. But when it was bad, was it really that bad? Or am I just telling myself that because I'm lonely and bored?
Cassie
[shakes her head] No, you... you deserve someone who's passionate and loving. Who yearns for you, and–and can't wait to see you, who... who you're not gonna fight with, and just who's gonna love you. Like... really, truly love you.
Yeah... I don't know. [to Theo] Do me a favor... when you get older, don't be an asshоlе to girls you like, okay?
[Cassie sitting on Nate's bed while Nate is in the bathroom]
But you knew I had feelings for Maddy.
Cassie
But I didn't know you were gonna get back together with her.
How many times do I have to tell you that we're not back together?
Cassie
Right, you just hung out and talked about love.
Oh, Jesus fucking Christ.
Cassie
If I would've known you were gonna get back together, I wouldn't have done this.
Cassie
It's not a lie!
You have this image of yourself as so fucking sweet and innocent... but it's bullshit. If you were a fucking sweet person, you wouldn't have fuckеd your best friend's boyfriend.
Cassie
[shakes her head] You two were broken up.
That is a comfort to nobody but you.
Cassie
I can't do this.
What, you wanna go tell Maddy?
Cassie
Maybe I will.
You're afraid that I'm still in love with Maddy, so you're gonna do whatever the fuck it takes to destroy that. This isn't about being a fucking good person, Cassie, or being a fucking good friend. This is about you getting what you want. [pause] You can fucking leave, or you can get into bed. It's up to you.
Cassie
You know what you don't realize, Nate? Is I don't care what happens to me. I don't care how angry Maddy gets. You two shouldn't be together. You're toxic.
Cassie
Because she's my best friend, and I'm in a relationship with you. She's not good for you, you're not good for her, and I will do everything I can to prevent it.
Maddy, that's literally fucking insane! [Cassie gasps] Madd... Cassie, I s–
Cassie
See?! This is what I'm talking about!
I–I said Maddy because we're talking about how fucking crazy Maddy is, which you can't seem to fucking comprehend!
Cassie
No! What you don't understand, Nate, is I AM CRAZIER!
That's not something to be fucking proud of, Cassie!
Cassie
No... but it is something you should be scared of.
[quietly] What the fuck? What the fuck!? You can't fucking blackmail me into a relationship with you!
Cassie
Blackmail means you don't have choices. But in reality, you do have choices. You just have to own up to the consequences of them!
That is the LITERAL FUCKING DEFINITION OF BLACKMAIL! If you don't do this, I'm gonna do that! That is blackmail!
Cassie
FINE, IT'S BLACKMAIL! I don't care! It doesn't change anything!
Cassie
You know what's fuckеd up, Nate?! You telling me that you love me, and then going and being in a relationship with my best friend!
...OH, WHAT THE FUCK?! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
Cassie
[calmly] Okay. Bye.
[sighs when Cassie leaves the bedroom] For fucking...
[Cassie walks down the stairs as Nate tries to stop her from leaving]
Cassie, stop. I love you.
[Cassie stops for a moment, then continues walking downstairs. Nate punches the wall in anger.]
[Nate gets offended by the homoerotic jock dance number in Lexi's play]
Cassie
Nate...?
Why the fuck are they laughing? That shit is so fucking homophobic.
[Nate gets up and leaves the auditorium. Cassie quickly follows him.]
Cassie
Babe, I'm so sorry. I had no idea Lex–
She's your fucking sister!
Cassie
No, I–
You know what? Pack your shit, get the fuck outta my house. I'm fucking done.
Cassie
Lexi, is this the part of the play where I steal Jake from Marta?
No, Cassie, that’s not in the play.
[The audience jeers]
HHallie
Look, I wanna say, I get it.
Cassie
Oh, God…
HHallie
I understand what you’re going through.
Cassie
I do not wanna hear from you.
GIGirl in the Audience
Wait, Hallie steals Marta’s boyfriend?
Cassie
I don’t know how many times I have to say this. They were not fucking together.
Yeah, not only that, but she was fucking him the entire time Marta was talking about getting back together with him.
GIGirl in the Audience
No… Why?
Because Hallie is a two-faced cunt.
Cassie
I’m not a cunt! You’re the cunt!
You’re the fucking cunt, bitch!
Cassie
I am not a fucking cunt!
SSuze
Language, missy! [pause] Okay. Okay, you know what? You’re just fucking embarrassing yourself. Let’s go home.
Cassie
I’m not going home. The play’s not over.
Oh, my God. I feel like I’m gonna throw up.
